Bayern has nine untouchables (Sport Bild via @iMiaSanMia) According to a report from Sport Bild journalists Christian Falk and Tobi Altschäffl, Bayern Munich only has nine players that the club considers “untouchable”...
NINE! Check out the list: Only 9 players in the squad are untouchable this summer • Manuel Neuer • Jonas Urbig • Josip Stanišić • Alphonso Davies • Aleksandar Pavlović • Joshua Kimmich • Jamal Musiala • Michael Olise • Harry Kane Dayot Upamecano would’ve also been one of the untouchable players, but the contract talks are currently stalling due to the high demands and the player’s wish to include a release clause. Bayern want to find a solution but are unwilling to overpay. Following the recent renewals (Davies, Musiala, Kimmich), the accusation was that there was no limit - both in wages and signing fees.
Upamecano and his management should not exaggerate their demands if a solution were to be found The names are not altogether shocking, but it shows how quickly things can change in Bavaria. All that said, it is not a bad nine to start with, eh?

The defender is going to be one of the most popular targets on the transfer market this summer: Four major Premier League clubs all hold “genuine interest” in AFC Bournemouth centre-back Dean Huijsen, according to BBC Sport.
Huijsen has enjoyed a breakout season, becoming a key player for Andoni Iraola’s side and making his first senior appearances for Spain’s national team. That has led to Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle United all exploring deals to sign him this summer. The BBC report adds that there is a £50 million release clause in the 20-year-old’s contract.
However, Real Madrid are also interested in Huijsen, who would prefer a move to the Bernabéu over another club in the Premier League.

crazy. Eintracht Frankfurt might want as much as €90 million to €100 million for striker Hugo Ekitiké: Bild reports that Eintracht Frankfurt will demand around €90-100m for striker Hugo Ekitiké in the summer as clubs from abroad begin to show interest in him. Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle have all been linked to the 22-year-old this season, and with Frankfurt being Frankfurt, they will demand a fee much higher than the €80m first reported.
If Ekitiké is to leave Deutsche Bank Park in the summer, Frankfurt will demand between €90-100m for him. The rise in the price tag is because the 22-year-old has continued to get better since the departure of strike partner Omar Marmoush to Manchester City in the winter. On top of this, Ekitiké’s fee is related to the price tag that Newcastle United placed on Swedish striker Alexander Isak.
The 25-year-old is also valued at €100m, and as Ekitiké is three years old, Frankfurt sees this as a fair valuation. If Frankfurt qualifies for the Champions League and wins the Europa League this season, the asking price for the 22-year-old will be even more justified. Die Adler have made a name for selling strikers for large amounts of money.
Marmoush joined City for €75m, compatriot Randal Kolo Muani is Frankfurt’s biggest sale, joining PSG for €95m, Luka Jovic joined Real Madrid for €63m, and Sebastien Haller moved to West Ham for €50m. Ekitiké could be Frankfurt’s first-ever €100m sale, this would put him as the third most expensive Bundesliga departure after Ousmane Dembelé joining Barcelona and Jude Bellingham’s move to Real Madrid.

Negotiations between the clubs are set to begin soon. If the clubs reach an agreement – which is expected – there are two options: Oermann is either planned to join Leverkusen directly this summer or will be loaned out for another year to gain further match experience. Werder Bremen and Mainz are also showing interest and are hoping to still have a chance should a move to Leverkusen fall through.
